Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno were never just a “90 Day Fiancé” couple. They were a franchise unto themselves — four seasons of “The Family Chantel,” six years of marriage, two warring families, and a divorce that played out as publicly and messily as anything the franchise has ever produced. Three years after the split, both of them are building separate lives. Pedro appears to have found someone new. Chantel is building a career. Neither of them appears to be looking back.
How They Met
Chantel and Pedro were set up by a mutual friend in 2015 — she was looking for a Spanish tutor, and he was looking for someone to help him with his English. Pedro was from the Dominican Republic and came to the United States on a K-1 visa. They married in 2016 and almost immediately became one of the most watched couples in franchise history — not because their love story was complicated, but because the families surrounding it were.
Chantel’s family suspected Pedro of using her for a green card. Pedro’s mother and sister were accused by Chantel’s family of manipulating Pedro into the relationship to funnel money back to the Dominican Republic. Neither family trusted the other, and the show gave both sides ample airtime to make their case. The result was years of television that was often uncomfortable and occasionally genuinely dramatic.
They documented their marriage across multiple seasons of The Family Chantel, which gave viewers a front-row seat to the slow deterioration of what had once been a genuine connection.
The Divorce
Pedro filed for divorce in May 2022 after six years of marriage. Mutual restraining orders were also filed at the time. The split was not a surprise to anyone who had been watching — the couple had stopped posting about each other on social media for over a year before the filing, and Chantel had been spotted without her ring.
The divorce proceedings were contentious. Pedro and Chantel legally fought for several months before reaching a resolution. Their home, which they had purchased together, sold for $417,000 — the profits divided equally, though the Everett family pushed back against Pedro receiving his share.
Chantel later revealed on “The Family Chantel” that the couple had not been intimate during the final year of their marriage and that Pedro would come home late every night. Pedro said publicly that the damage was done and there would be no reconciliation. He added that he was at peace with the marriage and wished Chantel the best.
Chantel appeared on “90 Day: The Single Life,” where it became clear she was still processing the divorce. She traveled to Greece looking for a fresh start and had a brief connection with a Greek soccer player named Giannis, which fizzled out when no serious future emerged.
Life After the Split
Pedro earned his real estate license in July 2021 — before the divorce was even filed — and has since become a successful agent, closing 20 transactions totaling several million dollars. He works at LD Realty Group in Norcross, Georgia. After the split he adopted two cats, made a trip home to the Dominican Republic for his mother’s birthday, and spent a period posting about the challenges of dating post-divorce — including a repost of a Ryan Gosling meme about trying to date in 2025 that resonated with his followers.
As of August 2025, published reports had Pedro still single and navigating the dating pool. By December 2025, his Instagram told a different story.
Pedro’s New Relationship
In late December 2025, Pedro posted a video from a restaurant in Colombia captioned “She has the face of a princess but eats like a truck driver” — showing a woman across the table from him. The post drew immediate comments from fans noting the resemblance to a younger Chantel, with the 90dayfianceupdate account among those who liked it.
By January 2026, he was posting from Medellín, Colombia, with a video showing his girlfriend’s photo as her phone wallpaper. Her name is Karen Malagon. The caption read “When your Colombian girl has you on the wallpaper of her phone.” Fans flooded the comments with support, with several noting that Latina love is clearly working for him.
Whether the relationship is serious or still developing has not been officially confirmed, but two posts in under two weeks from Colombia suggest this is not casual.
Where Chantel Is Now
Chantel has not just moved on — she has moved on in every possible direction at once.
She appeared on “90 Day: Hunt for Love,” where she came out publicly as part of the LGBTQ+ community. What followed was the kind of post-show development that reframes everything that came before it. On December 17, 2025, Chantel was surprised by her girlfriend Ashley Bowen at Uhuburg, a Renaissance castle in Helen, Georgia, where Ashley dropped to one knee and proposed. “Our love feels like it was written in the stars,” the couple told People. “So romantic, so authentic, so raw. We love that about ourselves. We love that about our love story.”
Chantel has largely stepped back from the franchise spotlight and redirected her energy into her career. Her Instagram reflects someone who has fully redirected her energy. She is building a career as a nurse injector at SSA Beauty Bar and keeping her romantic life largely separate from her professional platform.
The woman who spent years fighting for a marriage that was quietly falling apart is now engaged to someone who proposed in a castle and means it. Whatever the truth was about her marriage to Pedro, the story that came after it looks nothing like anyone expected.
A Story That Never Fully Resolved
Chantel and Pedro’s relationship was defined from the start by the question of whether it was real — whether Pedro married her for love or for a green card, whether her family’s suspicions were legitimate or unfair, whether six years of marriage meant anything in the end. The show never answered those questions cleanly, and neither has real life.
What is clear is that both of them are in different places now than they were in 2022. Pedro has a new relationship and a real estate career. Chantel has a medical aesthetics practice and a social media following that has outlasted the franchise.
The family drama that defined their television years has quieted. For the first time in a long time, both appear to be building lives that have nothing to do with each other.
90 Day Fiancé and its many spinoffs are streaming now on Max. New episodes air on TLC.
